- Comment on Your old android phone is begging to be a cheap home server! 1 day ago:
my 2 old phones were both replaced because of hardware issues.
one has a broken power button that is constantly randomly spam pressed, so as soon as it gets power if it ever manages to boot it either reboots itself or tries to call emergency services.
the other has a flaky usb c that constantly connects and disconnects unless you hold it at a specific angle and the battery is like a minute away from meltdown - it can hold charge for a couple minutes.
I’d be afraid to leave either plugged in.
I guess the article is for people that buy a new phone yearly out of fashion, not need.
- Comment on Decent 3d scanners under $1000 4 days ago:
I guess iphone (one with lidar, so one of the pro models, but it can be as old as 12) with a 3d scanning app might be the best general purpose in this price range…
Whats also interesting are diy rotating bed scanners like fabscan.org which come at 200-400$
- Comment on Map of services 1 week ago:
How is it a map and not a list?
Like, are the containers related somehow?
If you just want to know whats running, there are a ton of docker autoexplore dashboard out there. But I don’t think they output a map, just a list.
- Comment on Where do I even start? 1 week ago:
Start by searching for how to selfhost a photo storage backup. There are multiple ways to do it and the decision depends on your circumstances and preferences, which only you know.

- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 2 weeks ago:
OP is about solutions that include certain features out of the box in an easy to use package.
Rolling out a conglomorate of those features that you’ve manually set up and ducktaped together by hand is irrelevant. That could be done for many decades already.

Dokploy has a web ui with a list of services where you click install and it installs them for you.
- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 2 weeks ago:
free foss alternative, look at OMV
lol no. I used this one for a month and no.
It works but it has the most convoluted GUI possible. No backup system at all iirc. And running arbitrary containers was a nightmare that is not even integrated with the GUI.
I settled on dokploy.com
- Comment on My Dream of a Home Router / Server 2 weeks ago:
The closest to your dream is probably hexos.com
It is closed source, but build on top of open source…
They (for now) have a one time purchase, no subscription.
It has buddy backups. Can run on any normal x86 pc / server. And a nice GUI for deploying services easily.
I never personally used it. I just have it on my radar.

- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 2 weeks ago:
Did you try it after?
yep, I tried it fairly recently.
I agree with you on a philosophical level. But ignoring that, if it’s only about prpductivity shaper or fusion are way ahead compared to open source. I’d say you can work at least twice as fast in those.
And freecad slows me down way too much because of how unintuitive it is for me. If I only restrict myself to open source, blender has a way better UX.
- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 2 weeks ago:
Personally I use Blender.
FreeCAD is insane. It is absolutelty unworkable and unintuitive for me.
OpenSCAD is very cool for certain projects.
I’ve been wanting to try out github.com/…/Autodesk-Fusion-360-for-Linux
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly (24 October 2025) 3 weeks ago:
FUTO (popularly associated with Immich and Louis Rossman) received some backlash for subverting third-party donor guidelines in the conducting of its grant program
selfh.st should recieve some backlash for subverting the reason for the backlash in this summary.
The guidelines fuckery is just the decor. The whole cake was: FUTO platforms a guy that calls himself a fascist.

- Comment on I'm interested in setting up a misskey instance, and have questions. 5 weeks ago:
-
The laptop is super overkill for just misskey.
-
Debian is good.
-
Extra info needed. Do you want it to be accessible through a public domain?

- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
This is so fucking awesome! Congrats on the build!
Do you have any plans to do something against the future dust buildup?

- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 1 month ago:
That doesn’t make any sense
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 1 month ago:
Then you don’t need to pay porkbun and can just selfhost a DNS with that entry like technitium.com/dns/
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 1 month ago:
A wildcard record at Porkbun pointing to the private IP of my home server
Which can not be 192.168.X.X

- Comment on email set up for Ghost blog hosted on Pikapods 1 month ago:
I recently set up ghost on a regular VPS and it sends “internal” emails like 2fa and invites directly from the docker container as far as I can tell.
The sender is the server domain. (Which btw. gets flagged as spam in my case because I use that domain with tutanota…)
Only bulk/userfacing emails go through mailgun, as far as I can tell, but havent tested this yet in detail.
Maybe that helps you in debugging.

I wanted to set up a kubernetes cluster and bought 2k worth of hardware, which ended up lying in a box for 3 freaking years before I gave up on kubernetes and just set it up with dokploy in swarm mode.

Don’t do a large pile, when you get to it, start with the smallest possible thingy thats easy and fun.
